Thoughts, moth people? Is it Helicoverpa zea? I'm not seeing any exact matches. Hanging out on Grindelia.

Vaxi nr. auratellus

I think?

Longer, less stubby FW and less dark brown compared to Oedemasia salicis, and the HW is more grayish yellow than white. A good match with the main MPG Oedemasia semirufescens image
